Alright Reynold blew it. Got himself out of the game. Good riddance tbh. Put my neck on the line for him and he was too selfish and gullible. No drawback tho which is hysterical. Fabio and Alec still want to work with me (because we just had a difference of interest for a round nbd), Nay was apologetic (though I think she has ulterior motives and wanted to vote for me because both Fabio and Alec told me that some people did) and still "wants to work with me long-term," and Brandon seems ok with it since he wasn't around. He could be mad but I like him a lot personally and probably wouldn't have voted him if he was around a bit sooner. Oh well. Hopefully we'll be ok going forward. Won't be around too much for the challenge but I don't think it'll hurt me too much. I should be fine here because Sierra and Fabio won't vote for me and I don't really see Steph voting for me either. Definitely have to form this alliance I want to and keep up all my relationships. Lots of ORG work for the weekend and it will certainly take precedence over school work cuz who does that tbh.

Alright so Reynold sucks. He was safe. It wasn’t guaranteed but chances are we were going to rocks where he was 100% safe. I was willing to risk myself just to make sure the vote went my way and that would mean Reynold being safe. But he blew it, believed a bunch of lies, and made one of the dumbest fucking moves I’ve ever seen. It’s kinda sad that he got All-Stars initially and I didn’t. I mean sure I didn’t confess but he’s a moron. Anyway, ultimately it’s fine that he went because he never talked to me anyway other than for two five-minute conversations to make sure I wasn’t voting him out and no one was mad that I didn’t vote with them. Good riddance.
We got a new team and I was immediately worried. I knew I was safe if we lost because Sierra and Fabio both really want to work with me and wouldn’t vote against me. I also didn’t see it being likely that Steph would vote me out but even if she did I still had a tie. I was really worried for Sierra though. Fabio was pissed that she wouldn’t acquiesce to voting out Reynold last round and Steph could still have beef with her. I thought she was fucked and I was ready to go to bat for her but they won the challenge so I didn’t have to worry. I say they because I wasn’t around yesterday (doing service), did absolutely nothing, and still got immunity. It’s a good life.
Having safety, I decided to try to extend my network a bit by talking around to people who I don’t necessarily have on my side. I had a few brief conversations with Tom and Sierra Dawn just to try to make relationships with people who could target me. I feel like in different ways I have Carter, Matty, Sierra, Fabio, Alec, Steph, and Ian on my side. My goal is to form key relationships that people may not expect that will help keep me safe regardless of what tribe I end up on. I’m questioning my decision of forming that one tight alliance because why limit myself to one alliance? I want to form as many tight bonds as possible.
As far as tribal, it would be ideal if Carter was spared for Tribe B. Ideally, he, Coach, Jamie, and Sierra Dawn team up and vote out either Brenda or Courtney who I don’t talk to or really care about whatsoever. Unfortunately, I think Carter is isolated a little bit because of the last vote and a little bit because of the stupid fucking pregame rumors already starting about Matty, Sierra, and Carter. I really hope he can stay safe. For the other tribe, I think Ian is safe and I think Matty, Alec, and Brandon are working together (possibly with Ian). The issue is that Tom could be the target and despite my last few confessionals, he seems to be decent with me this game and not targeting me immediately. I could come to regret it but I’m really hoping for Na’Onka to go after she tried voting me out twice last round. It’s basically Matty’s interests vs. Brandon’s and it’ll be interesting to see who wins out. Right now, it’s a game of casual small talk and waiting until tribals are over. Should be fun.

Fun fact: Reynold didn't confess in Jiangxi either

So I've recently found out from Steph that Tribe B is either losing Carter or Jamie and from Matty and Steph that Tribe A is most likely losing Tom or Ian. Seriously fuck everything. Ugh. I'm losing an ally for sure on Tribe B. No question about that. And then on Tribe A I'm losing an ally or a potential ally. This round is just really depressing. Sierra was potentially in trouble if we had lost but I believe we could've flipped Steph or JT and Cochran going would have been significantly better than anything happening on the other tribes. I tried to convince Matty that Na'Onka going is better and while he agrees 100%, he doesn't think Brandon or Alec will be willing to vote her out. This is all just really frustrating and there's not much I can do. I'm really pissed too because I think Fabio could influence that tribal and we're working together to keep each other safe regardless of whether or not our interests always align and we always vote together. But if that's going to translate into him just picking off my allies and making me rely on him, that's not gonna happen. I'd really like to start targeting his allies and make sure he loses one for every one I lose. Tbf I haven't talked to him yet and I may try to see if he can push it on Nay. Oh and fuck Courtney and Brenda. Like you don't even talk to me. Go the fuck away. These random draws are really starting to get on my nerves. I'm ready to end up on a tribe with Matty, Sierra, and Cochran so we can have an easy vote. C'mon. So yeah outside of talking to Fabio possibly there's not much I can do and it sucks. I'm pretty much just waiting until this miserable round is over.
